Fabulous serves a combination of Chinese American standards as well as authentic Chinese dishes. The food is decent but it's not up to the level of Chicago Chinatown output. With that said, it would be considered in the top tier in Denver. The owner was serving us so that made for good service.

Absolutely do not eat here- the rice was missing from one of our dishes and the food was horrible. Chicken smelled spoiled and the curry was disgusting beyond words.

Idk, we as a family decided to go eat here and it wasn't what we expected. Place was empty so made for a good place to sit and eat and try to enjoy the food. Well when we sat down we pretty much seemed to be rushed to order our food cause he said they were closing the kitchen a hour and a half before closing time. Blew my mind on that one. We kinda decided to leave and go elsewhere but the waiter was persistent on us stayin after the situation of closing kitchen a hour and half before closing..Still ordered but end up taking it togo.. just felt some type of way. Like we were a bother and I hate feeling like a bother. Never want to be a burden on anyone. So I apologize and I'm not one for rating anything when it comes to a decent food and common courtesy. Not like it may matter but probably will never try this place again.

Very good food and service for just the one taking care of the front of the restaurant

Their time they say they close us 9:30. I called at 9, as that's the time I get off work, and they asked if I could be there in 10 they close. Like sorry, I should have 30 minutes (not that it will take me that as I work close, but not the point)

Have not been there in 7 years, used to be good, tried again in May 2022, the food was awful, no more fabulous noodles.

This is one of the best Chinese food places in the area! Their Lo Mein is my go to whenever I order along with an egg roll. As a tip, if you order the Lo Mein it is not flavored that well straight from the restaurant, add in 4-5 packets of the sweet and sour sauce and a packet or two of the soy sauce to give it a flavor boost. Trust me you will not be disappointed!

Very friendly, simple restaurant with good Chinese food and a good price.

One thing I will say.. the food is good. The problem is the service. If the owner is not there, the service is non existent. It's such a frustrating experience sometimes. I have given up for a while after today. I went in there after placing an online order. I was told my chip wasn't working on it. The woman at the counter didn't know how to do it manually. Huh? I was so confused because I do not know how they would take a delivery over the phone with a card. Besides that, any other time I've been there they have been able to use my card. Pretty much left the food there and went down the street. Complete waste of time.

Vegetable Pan Fried Noodles in black bean sauce, asked for it spicy. It was yummy on this cold rainy day!
Even though it's not so fabulous you can still get some Chinese food. Fabulous Noodles is one of these dinky establishments most people get carryout from and would never eat inside. It's among the better Chinese food options in Lisle. Certainly that's not saying much but it's a compliment. They have lots of lunch specials. Best time to come is at lunch. It has all these lunch specials going on. There's too many to talk about so I'll mention what we got the last time. Maybe it's a good idea to look at the menu before coming because you could be looking it over awhile. We got the Bean Curd Country Style. It's $5.50 at lunch. This comes with a soup. It has plenty of vegetables in it. The tofu is pretty well cooked and not mushy like at other places. For ordering also be sure to say if you would like steamed rice with it. It automatically comes with fried rice. The lunch specials are only weekdays.

Don't go here... simply because I don't want to wait in line behind you! Food was fantastic and service was great after waiting about 15 minutes for a table we were lucky enough to be seated by the "noodle guy" making noodles. I can't wait to try this place again. It is a chain, so I hope I am near one again soon.

They USED to be a favorite. Now they demand cash, and close early. Too bad.

While my order was complete and ready on time, I cannot recommend the food. My noodles were burnt and didn't have any sauce on them. No flavor whatsoever.

Ordered BBQ pork lo mein takeout. It was pretty bland and hardly had any vegetables or pork. The small amount of pork it had was pretty fatty and didn't have much BBQ flavor at all. I picked out the pork and gave it to my dog.
